What Else Do We Know About Pokémon Champions, the Upcoming Battle Sim?

Pokémon Champions is designed as a multiplayer experience, featuring cross-platform play across Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. While specific game modes are yet to be fully revealed, there's no doubt that players will have plenty of ways to test their battling skills.

One of the most exciting aspects of Pokémon Champions is its integration with Pokémon Home. This means you can bring some of your favorite Pokémon from past adventures into the game. However, it's worth noting that not all Pokémon will be available right from the start, and only a select group will be usable at launch.

With Pokémon Champions, The Pokémon Company is carving out a dedicated space for competitive play, focusing on high-stakes battles without the distractions found in the main series games. As we await more details, be sure to check out the trailer below to get a taste of what's to come.
